Mathematics of Poker. Page 133

Was working out the Jam/Fold strategy but got stuck on this page. They have a table calculating expected value of the caller when the caller will call with AKs vs AA, later AT and then A5s.

The first matchup (AA vs defender's AKs) I don't understand. The equity is correct and all but the Probability of calling is shown to be 3/1225. I don't understand this. If 2 As are out there should only be 2/1225 probability of calling. The 3/1225 makes sense for the other 2.

I must be missing something. I found an Errata for this exact page but it seemed to correct it to what i'm seeing here so i'm probably wrong somehow.

thanks

Yeah, I see why this is confusing.
p(call) here is the probability that this matchup occurs given that you hold AKs. So if you have AKs, there are 3 ways to make AA, 3 ways to make ATs, and 3 ways to make A5s. But there would be 6 ways to make QQ, for example. So what's in the table is right.

Oh wow, i'm stupid. I looked at it the wrong way. thank you very much.

My mind, btw, is fully blown by the fact that you were the one who answered. So awesome!

thanks again.
